IUTAM Symposium on Discretization Methods for Evolving Discontinuities Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium held Lyon, France, 4 – 7 September, 2006

In recent years, discretization methods have been proposed which are more flexible and which have the potential of capturing (moving) discontinuities in a robust and efficient manner. This monograph assembles contributions of leading experts with the most recent developments in this rapidly evolving field. It provides the most comprehensive coverage of state-of-the art numerical methods for treating discontinuities in mechanics.
